The Radio are guitarist Stevie M, formerly of one of Ireland’s much loved indie bands Rollerskate Skinny,
whose album Horsedrawn Wisheswas voted 14th in the Hotpress top 100 Irish albums of all time earlier
this year, along with vocalist Caroline Lee-Baker, and guitarist/producer Liam Mulvaney, with Huey Byrne
on drums, Dave Radio on bass, plus guest vocalists and musicians. Having eschewed the live circuit for

recording, The Radio released their stunning debut album Kindness, on Reekus Records, in the autumn
of 2004 to immense critical acclaim – it was described by Hotpress as ‘the most accomplished,
alchemic, and original debut in years.’ A preview of two album tracks, the spine-tingling
Remember Me, Remember You (“should be on every playlist everywhere in the world!”
– RTE Guide) and Empire found their way on to influential radio shows via presenters Leagues O’Toole,
Tom Dunne, and Jenny Huston in Ireland, and Poptones supremo Alan McGee on the BBC in the UK.
They have since been invited to play at In The City in Manchester, and were one of only four bands from
that event invited by the BBC to record a session for broadcast in the UK. Since then they have played a
number of stunning live shows, including their debut at the Temple Bar Music Centre in October 2004, the
Barfly in London the following month,. Showcases in January 2005 in Cannes during the Midem festival,
and at CMJ in New York in September, created keen record company interest from all corners of the globe.
